Ritz-Carlton Residences set to deliver luxury to Mag Mile this year

Construction at the Ritz-Carlton Residences reaches the top floors.
Bob took some photos of the Ritz-Carlton Residences construction progress last week along Michigan Avenue while visiting a favorite boutique seller.


Coincidentally, Mary Ellen Podmolik wrote a sales update on the Ritz-Carlton Residences and Lincoln Park 2520 in the Tribune this past weekend. What was not mentioned; both developments are marketed by Prudential Rubloff Properties our affiliated real estate brokerage.


The two very upscale and luxurious developments are the only games in town for major mid-rise or high-rise construction in Chicago. Amazingly, Mary Ellen Podmolik reports the Ritz-Carlton homes will be the only new construction condo units to deliver downtown in 2011. 


Bob and I know that new construction on the high-end of the market spectrum, if executed property, will sell and will sell for a premium in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Near North and the Loop. This is the case even when there is plenty of inexpensive re-sale alternatives.  The market likes new and re-sales have to price at a huge discount to move.


Priced from $1.4 million to "how much you got?", these homes are for lifestyle seekers and lifestyle makers who will be placed squarely in the high-end retail capital of the Midwest. The architecture, parks, cultural events, dining and lakefront have truly reached world class status.
